On a trip to Miami for a conference, I had the great pleasure of participating in a wonderful experience. A large group of attendees were presented with the opportunity to take a walking tour of some of Miami’s authentic Cuban restaurants. Being the type of person who loves to experience great food and culture, I was game.
What I soon discovered was that our tour guide was more than just a guide, she was a passionate lover of the culinary world. She was not just giving us a tour but guiding us along a culinary experience unlike any other I have ever had. Up and down side streets to small little niche shops and restaurants we explored and discovered some of the most interesting people and culinary pleasures.
What made this a true experience was the passion Lisa from Miami Culinary Tours had about her world. She wanted each guest she lead to understand, experience and appreciate the culture, food and heritage behind the restaurant scene in Miami. She created moments of memories and embraced what it meant to stage experiences. With only a small amplified speaker and the streets of Miami, Lisa used all these locations as the stages for the experiences or food exploration. And the “Ing the Thing” was not eating, but devouring a culture through its food and drink, consume the Cuban heritage and digest the knowledge she shared.
Bravo!
